I use my actual ip_address in the command. I have just started my first droplet with Joomla, to host my personal portfolio. However, I am trying to log in to my droplet from my terminal on my Mac with my SSH key. I command ssh root@your_ip_address, yet it’s unresponsive so I can’t log in. What do I do?
